yep, obama hiself said it in the interview, that in the long run this wont help republicans as most of the country already believes he was born in hawaii...i think the democrats are putting trump onto the whole birther thing to destroy republicans

"He won't show it because as long as you Birther fools are making idiots out of all of us, this is a winning issue for him. Trump doesn't care, because he's in it for the publicity." You are missing the whole point MWS, this issue is not Pro versus Anti-Birthism per se. The reason Mr. Trump is rising in the polls is because, he is one of the few Republicans to take on Mr. Obama on any issue. If the GOP swell took have promoted Conservatism in the first place and if the anti-Birthers within the party would keep quiet instead of drawing attention, this issue would not be big at all, but the swells have boxed themselves in a corner at you are doing nothing to solve the problem.
